This game has a nice learning curve so far. The basic controls are very simple and easy to memorise, and when you inevitably fuck up it's usually hilarious. At the same time, it is satisfying to start mastering some of the more advanced (though still relatively basic) mechanics and pulling off through balls between defenders or feints that create space. The three different game modes (3v3, 4v4, 5v5) feel like a nice progression too, as space inevitably gets tighter with more players on the pitch which forces you to make quicker decisions. I wasn't sure if having prior experience playing the sport would help or hinder but so far it definitely feels like the former. The biggest issues so far seem to be the netcode and the matchmaking time (quite long in SEA and Oceania).

Who is praising Game Freak? The video is quite critical of the studio.

Kinda looks like a Rareware game, although maybe I'm just making that connection because I played Donkey Kong 64 as a kid.

It's the Orbit clock in the Kvaesitso launcher (one of the stock options). And yes, the icon pack is Arcticons, although I also use Alembicons to create icons for apps that aren't currently supported by Arcticons.

I do something similar on my phones. The screen turns on to a blank page with just the time and alarm/media playback information.

To access my applications I swipe left. I've made the icons monochrome and removed their names so I rely on search to find and open the app I want. This makes app launching less of an addictive reflex and more of a conscious decision each time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Choice fucked this test up. The wide range of results from the Cancer Council products was very strange.

Only because he forfeited it.

whom I talk to and what websites I visit, maybe every single keystroke if the keyboard does weird things for machine learning or backing up word lists in the cloud...

None of this has anything to do with custom ROMs vs stock Android. These are all problems at the application and settings level and can be solved without changing the operating system.

Most of those are extremely simple. I don't get why people shit their pants when they see the words "command line". You are following basic instructions and copy/pasting text; you would need to be illiterate or braindead to get tripped up by it.
